Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh) [India], March 14 (ANI): Five members of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) were suspended from the ongoing Budget Session of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Monday for the rest of the session.

The suspension came after the TDP legislators insisted on discussing the deaths of people in Jangareddygudem allegedly due to consumption of illicit liquor. The TDP members accused the state government of ignoring it.
